If you're using external package management, you'll have to do something
like ln -sf /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/centos4/yum.repos.d
/vservers/.pkg/<guest>/yum/etc/yum.repos.d (adjusting paths
accordingly). If you have internalized package management, I believe you
should already be using the latest version, but you can make sure by
editing /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo inside the guest and looking
for any references to 4.2.
